Then Sullivan and the woman tied up the girl hand and foot clamps and shoved it in her mouth gag before the man raped and beat her. Sarah packer said that she wanted her daughter died, and watched the entire process.
«I plunged into fantazijai,’ said the mother. — I didn’t think you could tell him «no» without losing him.»
Sullivan laughed, telling the investigators about the moment when the girl reached for her mother during the attack. After the rape and torture they gave grace a large dose of sleeping pills, thinking that she will die. But back to the attic through the day, they discovered that their victim was still alive. Sullivan choked the girl for two minutes at a time, as her mother just watched.
«Relatively speaking, grace was an empty place, — said packer, who claimed that she has a degree in psychology and an IQ over 140 points. — It no longer existed. I wanted her gone.»
According to prosecutors, packer and Sullivan for months stored the body’s grace in the litter for cats, and then got rid of it. The remains of a girl found by hunters.
Earlier in court, Amy Adam, school psychologist, grace said the student received excellent grades, but she needs emotional support.

Lawyers Packer, Keith George. Williams and John Fioravanti, tried in any way to represent their client in a more positive way.
